[Spce-user] Upgrade from 6.5.5 LTS to 8.5.1 LTS

[Alex Lutay]

Dear Matthias,

It is NOT impossible to jump over LTS releases.
You have to upgrade  mr6.5.5->mr7.5.x->mr8.5.y
(x/y are latest builds for the release):
https://sipwise.com/releases/

You need to follow upgrade manuals in Sipwise documentation. Migration
for Kamailio locations will be mandatory in mr7.5 as mr8.5 support Redis
only (locations were migrated from MySQL to Redis).
It will give you huge performance boost for registrations.

It is always a good idea to play with new release before the upgrade.
You can run test VMs from images Sipwise provides.
